    Multiple approvers required

    HR services has an optional configuration that requires multiple approvers. When configuring an HR service, select approvers from the fields on the HR case. For example, select Subject person manager as an approver. Using fields from a case provides maximum flexibility when assigning an approver. By assigning an approver from the case, it's possible an approver cannot be found. For example:

    • Subject person manager is the approver.
    • The Subject person's HR profile does not contain a manager.
    • Or, the Subject person's manager recently left the company.

    When an approver is missing, the following message appears:

    HR Agent Workspace - Missing approvers message
